Using real leaves, I sculpt the form using my proprietary medium, Omega Stone, creating an organic "canvas". Pieces are painted and sealed. The result is a contemporary fossil sculpted in stone. My goal is to assemble the largest collection of real plant sculptures in the world. I travel widely to find large leaf plants. I sometimes create the original on-site, when invited. After the original is safely back in my studio, I release a limited edition; there are never more than 100 in any edition. The pieces are then panted with a proprietary alcohol ink in a multitude of colors.
